France v All Blacks

[dingo]

The rucks are so scrappy TJ's strength just outweighs his less than spectacular pass

[taniwharugby]

Barnes giving the French a lot of space to harass TJ

[Stargazer]

Great game from Todd; A Savea now on.
Dagg off injured. Cruds on at 10, BB moves to fullback.

[Stargazer]

Try Charlie!

[mariner4life]

Good Wayne don't let that yappy halfback puss you off.

Who is savea on for?

[Sapetyvi]

@mariner4life todd

[dingo]

Lucky our big man has good hands. Try for Charlie.

Frog club owners will be lining up to recruit him

[chimoaus]

Nice try from some good possession.

[Tordah]

lucky bounce, we'll take it

[taniwharugby]

@mariner4life not Kaino.....

[Stargazer]

I'd rathher seen Ardie replace Kaino tbh.

[antipodean]

Fuck your rule Barnes, learn the rule the scrumhalf can't be taken out at the ruck.

[Sapetyvi]

Who gave that offload to Charlie? Fucking outrageous.

If he was thinking of going before that try he is definitely off now!!

What? Fuck.

Good try off a lucky knock back.

Look at our green midfield!

To be fair our forwards aren't giving perenara the protection he needs there. French comitting more numbers

[taniwharugby]

@Sapetyvi offload, yeah yeah it was an offload....Read

[Nepia]

What the hell were France doing there? If they just ran straight and hard like in the first half they would have scored instead the halfback did some weird pass that got knocked on.

[mariner4life]

Kaino! I never doubted you!

The rules say you can't interfere with the halfback, doesn't say he has to have protection for that rule to apply.

You are right tho, he hasn't been looked after.
